Wealth Company Mutual Fund said that the new investment strategies combine long-term equity investing with tactical short-term exposure. The objective is to help investors to participate in market upside while actively managing downside risks.
WSIF Equity Long-Short Fund
The WSIF Equity Long-Short Fund aims to generate long-term capital appreciation. Its investment strategy or allocation will be to invest in equities, up to 80–100 per cent. It will have the flexibility to take up to 25 per cent unhedged short exposure via derivatives. Besides, it will also have allocation to debt and money market instruments for liquidity.

The WSIF Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short Fund will focus on opportunities beyond the top 100 companies by market capitalisation.
It will have a minimum allocation of 65 per cent to mid and small cap stocks. The strategy will seek to capitalise on inefficiencies in broader markets while maintaining risk controls.
Wealth Company Mutual Fund said that both strategies are designed with a dynamic portfolio construction approach, combining fundamental research-driven stock selection with derivative overlays with an aim to deliver consistent and risk-adjusted returns.
Specialized Investment Fund
Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs) represent a structural shift in the Indian mutual fund industry. From an investor standpoint, SIFs bring greater sophistication into regulated mutual fund structures by enabling tools such as short selling, dynamic hedging, and flexible asset allocation.
These features allow portfolios to better navigate volatility, seek to reduce drawdowns, and aim to generate more consistent outcomes across market cycles.
